I really like the fact that Arturia decided to come out with an analog synth that actually innovates instead of just trying to replicate a synth of the 80s. It still can produce those rich analog tones of the 80s but, at the same time, take them to the next level. This is a future classic synth let's hope that it will be a commercial success as much as it is a technical one.
Arturia brings a lot of new stuff to the table. Sure it has all the mandatory classic analog waveforms, sine, saw, triangle, square/pwm and noise, but it also has those sweet waveshapers that brings an extra dimension in shaping the tone and timbre and allows us to venture a little further beyond those classic analog waveforms. And then off course the morph feature, program 2 patches and discover a world of patches in between by morphing 😍So cool! Should also prove quite handy to just quickly try out many different sounds and perhaps aid in quickly coming up with many new patches. I mean, if you hear something you like when morphing between two patches, then that's an entirely new patch right there 😊
I completely agree. I couldn’t say it better. Mine arrived last week and it’s a masterpiece. It’s got some real French design flair too and, given the history of French electronic music, I think that’s really appropriate.
I am so completely blown away at the brilliance and wisdom of Frédéric and his Arturia design team. Big congrats to Thierry and Sébastien for their contributions. OMG - sounds move me emotionally and Arturia incredibly nails it. I am in love with Arturia and its entire product line - have most of the software, and after watching this vid, I am saving up for the hardware line. Wishing big success in 2023!
Dear Arturia, you nailed it big time with this one. What a beauty and well done in adding such cool tech to advance playing and programming/fun time. You deserve all the marbles.
I agree with everything that James Hall said in his comments regarding MPE. I too am really impressed with PolyBrute. Given your emphasis on expressivity, adding MPE support would truly take it to the next level. I have a Roli seaboard and I have pre-ordered an Osmose, so MPE is now a must for any synth that I get going forward. If you commit to adding MPE in the near future, I will very likely buy a PolyBrute, otherwise I will probably purchase a UDO Super 6, which has less features than PolyBrute...but it does support MPE, which is more important to me than any of PolyBrute’s unique features. Also, I should mention that I would be OK with MPE that is constrained with respect to the possible destinations for the five dimensions of controllability of MPE, Providing that polyphonic pitch bend is fully supported.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Yusuf Duncan Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Congratulations Artura development team!! Suggestion: Please move MPE compatibility up on the added feature task list. Seaboard & Osmose, users will REALLY want this feature. Morph aftertouch is fantastic, but the MPE controllers like Seaboard have so many more dimensions of sound manipulation. ASM moved on MPE incorporation lightning fast when the MPE suggestion was submitted (hint hint). Great job Arturia, the PolyBrute is truly a unique great sounding instrument :) :)
Dear French engineers who work for Arturia, this synth is the huge surprise since the prophet08 came out. Merci beacoup! This is a future classic, I got one yesterday! The French engineers, you guys are awesome!
As they tried to put across in the video, this synth is just so enjoyable to use... not only a professional sound with endless modular options, but a high quality, meditative toy laboratory to lose yourself in for a while. My favorite❤
félicitations! Great work. The matrixbrute is a fantastic synth and now you seem to have really brought that across and also added something special with all the performance controls. I hope you can bring the editor software to the matrixbrute as well because these two will be sitting near each other :)
Thanks for the great demonstration and answering all my questions. Arturia keep innovating and giving us this wonderful tools for express our creativity and states of mind. :)
This was a brilliant presentation. So glad you did this... and I found it. So many elements of the Polybrute blow my mind. In this presentation... the motion record was a wow moment. Ambient noodling with the morphee to express. The visual Arp/Seq on the matrix. Just an awesome instrument. I do not own... yet... but will. And I am not even a keyboard player. :)
Wowsers. This kicks ass. I nearly brought a Fantom, but they're hard to find now due to the chip issues. Lucky for me I found this video, gonna get this instead.
Been looking for great analog synth for years, since I sold my dear Roland Juno 6… I think I’ve found it! This instrument is obviously a made with passion and expertise, a synth nirvana. Actually I purchased Keystep 37 last year, great tool, full of surprises.. thanks for great presentation! ✌️👍🥇
Congrats, guys! You created a masterpiece. The only other synth with a comparable amount of ingenious new ideas implemented is the Hydrasynth - but it isn’t analog. I ordered the PolyBrute immediately after listening to the first demos (BoBeats, loopop). I really hope shipping won’t be significantly delayed.
@@JiL33 thanks for getting back me. Glad it worked out for you. I’ve got big time GAS for this synth. Might have to sell my Deepmind 12 and MPC Once to justify the purchase and make space in my studio for it. 🎹🤩
Phenomenal work. Your sounds have been a huge part of my process. Your filters and subtractive synth modeling are my favorite. Hoping to pick up a MB for the live rig. Thanks! -Walker landing
Never had much interest in any of your synths (owning three Rackbrute 6U however), but this one is something else. You really nailed it here. Congrats!
Good lord I'm jonesing so hard for this. Take this down for the next product: Poly AT and maybe 2 more voices...then it's pretty much perfect. Seriously...ship one straight to my house.
To those like Dara M who note the Korg Prologue (a great hybrid synth btw) it does lack a sequencer unlike the PolyBrute. The Korg does give the JD-XA a run for it's money in build quality no argument there. My only nitpick with the video is I was hoping to see some factory-floor shots of it being assembled.
Beautiful, looking forward to hear more of it! Question: can the sequencer record non-quantized input from keys or it has to align? If not, is there any plan for micro-shifting or adding other sort of off-grid variations? It was (a satisfying answer) on lacking of CV in/out to manage costs, though will we see full size, greater price PB Super Freak with cv, audio-in, wavetable, sample etc?
Are you already in agreement with Spectrasonic to control Omnisphere? It seems PB can do great as master keyboard controller for V Collection and the rest of the world :) TNX!
Oooh - THAT! I'm in SRS need of an excellent controller for my Omnisphere!!! AND I really want THIS synth. 😉🤓😉 Thoughts? Is the architecture compatible? Can we expect something down the line? See this baby added to Spectrasonic's admirable list of hardware synths that have been mapped for full-on 2.5 control?!?
Super ! J'aurai aimé une version française. Je parle régulièrement le grenoblois :) (j'habite Annecy et l'on a le même patois, et pour le site, une version Française serait aussi la bienvenue). Hormis cela, le Polybrute est vraiment HALLUCINANT. Je pense que Vangelis va revendre tout son matos pour en acheter un. Continuer comme ça. Cette année je pense faire ma lettre au Père Noël pour acquérir un de vos produits. A+
Congratulations, Team Arturia! I liked the MatrixBrute, but I’m so glad that I didn’t buy one! The PolyBrute is now on my wish list! It looks and sounds like a well executed design! 🤘🏻😎🎹🌴🌞 Félicitations, Team Arturia! J'ai aimé le MatrixBrute, mais je suis si heureux de ne pas en avoir acheté un! Le PolyBrute est maintenant sur ma liste de souhaits! Cela ressemble et sonne à un design bien exécuté!
Do all of the buttons, knobs, faders, the morphe, and the ribbon all transmit MIDI information? It'd be nice to be able to get rid of my dedicated MIDI controller.
Amazing synth, can it be used to control other vst instruments with the knobs and sliders using it as a master keyboard, thanks ... I have it using mod wheel and pitch bend with them but the knobs wont Learn for some reason
+1 Select preset via MIDI. This allows externally sequencing entire performances where PB plays several roles across several songs. Small cost, huge benefit. Please upvote.
Guys is it possible to design a flip up case like the matrix brute? It’s much easier to see the control panel at an angle than flat ........maybe a limited edition
C'mon guys.. I've just get enough money for the MATRIXBrute. I've even almost ordered it! And then the POLYBrute happened and for 5 days I can't decide which of them to buy first and where to get additional 2500 euros. I'm in pain!
Really could do with some expert level patch design tutorials for the modulations if possible, the full potential of this synth is not being shown by anyone online as yet it seems.
Fantastic! I 'll wait until your next project sees daylight: UltraBrute! More or less same concept but at least 10 voices, extra octave, and of course a lot of much desired extra's (check all reviews and comments). Pricetag below 10k. You have already solved most of the crazy mathematics! So.... it's just a matter of getting big and create that uncompromised beast. It will become a reference for next 4 decades just as CS-80 did. Why? Because this is a groundbreaking concept! Just a bit too limiting in some ways. PolyBrute will make you great. "UltraBrute" will make you immortal.
It seems to be a beuatiful synth but It would have been better if you had kept all the Matrixbrute specs and enhanced them in a polyphonic unit. Here we get 2 OSC only vs 3 Osc on Mx, limited matrix vs full matrix, fixed panel vs titling panel.
